The Justice Department is targeting social media fans of President Trump.
According to newly released documents, prosecutors collected a large collection of data on the former President’s social media activity, including every account that liked, followed, or retweeted him.
Special Counsel Jack Smith sought, and appears to have gotten, information on all users Trump followed, unfollowed, muted, unmuted, blocked, or unblocked, as well as all users who followed, unfollowed, muted, unmuted, blocked, or unblocked Trump.
According to the reports, Smith also requested Twitter provide information on “all lists of Twitter users who have favorited or retweeted tweets posted by Trump, as well as tweets that include the username associated with the account, in the form of mentions or replies.
The DOJ also requested Trump’s geolocation, private messages, search history, and contact information.
The DOJ has released the redacted search warrant for Donald Trump's Twitter account.
